Chemistry

A concentration in Chemistry, as a part of an undergraduate degree, takes the student beyond the capabilities afforded by the Chemistry minor and provides enhanced exposure to chemical concepts, processes and systems. Professors are committed to helping students pursue God’s call on their lives and their personal academic aspirations in the various disciplines of chemistry.

The Evangel University Department of Natural and Applied Sciences is dedicated to the spiritual, academic and social growth of every student. The department’s purpose is to provide an excellent scientific education that is thoroughly integrated with the University’s emphasis on the development of strong Christian character. Within this framework, students must contend with new scientific, social, ethical and technological challenges. Students learn to communicate technical concepts clearly and effectively and exhibit analytical thinking and problem-solving skills.
A concentration in Chemistry provides a more extensive foundation, compared with the Chemistry minor, in the fundamentals of chemistry, allowing students to be able to understand and critically evaluate chemical and other scientific information. It facilitates the ability to function at a high level in the laboratory as well as to participate in public policy discussion and decisions. Students are provided with practical experiences through laboratory experimentation in the various chemistry courses.

Each of Evangel's academic programs is made up of a set of core curriculum, program requirements and electives. The courses listed below are just a small sample of courses that might be taken as a part of this specific program.
